about the team

Nearly 1200 men have represented England at the highest level since 1872 but none is as universally revered as the late Bobby Moore. Apart from captaining his country to victory at Wembley in the magical summer of '66, and duelling so memorably with Pele in Mexico four years later, Moore also started and finished every single one of his 108 international appearances. He never came off the bench and was never substituted. His final 90 minutes came in a 1-0 defeat by Italy in November, 1973 on an evening when the winning goal was scored by a midfielder named Fabio Capello. Once and future king.
